I mostly build up not out :laugh2
Skyscrapers can be happy places to live if you provide enough leisure buildings.
A couple of old views from 2006 or7 playing as a good god.
Note
Small fertile area supporting a large population.
No walls or troops needed.
Each to their own.
But if you understand about buildings influence rings and how they work, then large fields and multiple Granaries is not the best way to go.
Large fields reduce the number of fields and so the production bonus.
Granaries are industrial units the more you have the more your ...
That site is now closed but here is the relevant info.
For widescreen resolutions outside of those shown in the setup program. use regedit to navigate to this key:

Bit late but....
Back in the day a lot of the more dedicated players would have special profiles with their MP trained creature.
I would do much as FP said but my creatures job was destroy the enemy Temple ASAP.
Fireball, Heal and Water are the only 3 miracles such a creature should know.
As...
Bit late but B&W 1 can have a lot of issues with Vista/7 and now 8.
In the main B&W folder is Setup.exe use it. Select Custom and set everything to MAX.
That will cure 99.9% of frame rate or mouse issues. :D
No need to reinstall usually.
Villagers tend to just stand around if they have nothing to do. Find them work or give more entertainment venues.
If they are disciples then shake them off to make them normal again.
I know this will be too late for this play through but this land has more ore than you can use ( as a Good God).
3 Mines and 2 ore deposits from memory. Also no need for walls or troops so disband them ASAP.
....
As to your food problem. Try this Good God strategy.
Before you start...
"I just want to stop the overfilling of my storehouses with lumber without having to kill foresters or Torchwood. :P"
The simple answer is don't create disciples. If your village is a good place to live villagers will fill the needs of the village store as and when required.
If you need to...
You could also try my Tiger save. Unplayed and a solution to a lot of problems.
Ignore the readme just merge the 2 save games folders. Then play the Tiger profile.
Or
Just use use my unplayed save game. All you miss is the creature select and early tutorial.
WORKS ON ALL WINDOWS VERSIONS... Vista / 7/8 ...32/64 bit.
No iffy downloads.
No messing with the registry.
But only on really old PC's.
The save I made was for my use originally.
When I realised that I couldn't have a tiger on a 64 bit PC and did this for myself and others. :D
The big secret for older games is NOT to install to the default location on new systems.
Create a new folder outside any "programs" folder called "games" or any other name you want and install there.
Vista /W7 problems shold the be solved.
B&W2 Battle of the Gods expansion "Bonus Level" sounds to me just what you need.
Have a look for some old posts. I got up to wave 23 before going back to my builder roots.
I had loads of problems with Vista64 but fixed it with a very similar method to this solution for W7 .......
